Mezze Platter With Grilled Pita

A mezze platter, filled with hummus, tzatziki, tabbouleh, and more, staves off hunger and can withstand outdoor temperatures for several hours (so long as it's in the shade). Many of the components can be store-bought if you're on a time crunch. Otherwise, make them a day or two before the party and assemble on a plate before your guests arrive.
